Alessia was tired. She was running on ONE hour's sleep. (ooc: Because *I* am - LOL) She had the bag of Witches' Runes that Tate found in his office in her hands... Where these the reason Reynard was gone? Did he not leave her? She scootched up on her desk and waited for the students to file in. ooc: I am so sorry, I was going to start this yesterday, but I was on call and ended up working all night long (except from 2:30 to 3:30 AM - my one hour of sleep) I will keep this thread open for at least 72 hours. |

Okay, there was no way that she was going to remember all of that, and by the time the Professor finished talking, Evelyn realized that she hadn't written any of the information said down. Ugh, well it was too late now! She forgot what was mostly said anyways...something about changing water into...water or something.
Sighing in a little frustration, she went over the runes the professor said before deciding to pick one. How she could remember THOSE and not the story...just weird. "The Crossroads professor, could represent negativity, something bad or a struggle, or it could mean change, whether for the better or worse. It isn't necessarily a good rune, though I don't think it's a bad rune either. Depends on the situation or the other runes I guess. It's just a mysterious rune." And quickly before she forgot, she wrote the rune names down in her notebook. Now those were important...

"So... that leaves is with The Sun, The Moon, The Rings, The Crossroads, Waves, Flight, The Harvest, The Scythe, The Eye, The Star, Woman, Man and Romance." She said smiling. "Pick ONE, tell me it's meaning."
Kellen had grown up with a cousin who adored debunking divination and ways to tell fortune, and while he didn't share Chaucer's love of denouncing the areas of study he certainly liked reading about the different interpretations people drew from readings. What they took from it said more about them than the actual reading did.
He raised his hand, "There's a lot of speculation over the Harvest symbol, professor. For most muggles it represented quite simply when the best time to bring in the crops would be, but it means so much more than that. In general, the Harvest symbol helps to tell when any plan or event will come to fruition. It could be used with many of the other symbols in combination."
He shrugged, "It's all well and good to know that you'll find romance, or that your life will be changing, but when is the key question, isn't it?" |

Becca copied down the other's answers and Professor Lupa's information before raising her hand again, " Professor, the Moon stands for Change. Whether the change is positive or negative depends on the runes that are next to it. " Maybe this book wasn't so bad after all, it was helping her: even if she didn't remember the title.

Herminny had no idea about anything to do with witch runes but she thought she might as well try to contribute and took a guess at the waves and raised her hand and responed, "Um the waves rune could mean having a struggle to over come because waves keep coming at you making it difficult to get through but not impossible.".

Hogwarts RPG Name: Amur Neverwinter Fourth Year | ~ Rise and Rise Again, Until Lambs become Lions ~ Sabel's frown deepend into one of contemplation at the Professor's words about finding the runes in the Headmaster's office. "The eye could be interpreted two ways, a positive and negative, as all runes can be. On the one hand it could represent clear sight and an open and accepting opinion to that which is occurring around you. It could also be similar to the eye of Horus in Egyptian hyroglyphics, which symbolizes protection and depending on its use power from deities."
Somehow he didn't think that either of those were the purpose for hiding that specific rune in the Headmaster's office. "The second could be a more sinister meaning, such as indicating that you are being watched or toyed with. That you know less than you believe you do or that your feeling of protection and safety are falsified. It could be used as a tool to mock."
Looking up from his paper he considered the teacher. "So, if you believe the runes are of fowl play, but you are showing them to us, then does that mean you don't know what exactly they were meant for?" If the Professors were able to figure it out she wouldn't have told them that the runes were hidden in the Headmaster's office, and even if they had figured it out, she wouldn't have left it open as to what their purpose had been in their placement. It was believed, not known. There was a big difference. "And you are looking for the clear and unbiased minds of students to help you decipher them?"

Josh jumped up again where he stood. ''Professor, professor! Those The Sun, The Waves, The Harvest and The Flight sounded like the four elements to me, respectively fire, water, earth and air. So i believe they represent what those elements represent as characteristics in Divination'' it was weird that how he enjoyed Divination though it was rather a girly subject but he liked it when he got the freedom of commenting on people's lives and see their reaction and also it was a good way to attract girls, teehee, not that he needed it. ''But you warned us to only pick one i would like to take The Sun. Since The Sun or element Fire represents energy, the living soul and desire i thik we can take it mostly as a positive rune so if the person has the sun in his or her reading we can tell that the person will be successfull at what he or she aims and will not face much difficulties at the path of life or will have enough strenght to deal with them. However i think it might be affected by other runes like the Scythe which smells negative to me. At that case we all know that too much strenght, desire or courage might lead one to fallacies and danger.'' 'Ooooo i spoke to much again' actually he had more to say but in order to not to annoy the others and especially the professor by passing to the other runes, the Gryffindor boy simply nodded and sat back. 'Oooooo again!! What a question!! Sabel rocks the class! Ha ha!'

She studied them for a second before raising her hand to offer her explanation for one of them. "Professor, I think the Scythe means death, like the death of someone. It could be a literal or metaphorical death, depending on the other runes surrounding it." |

Emily raised her hand. She wasn't sure what the answer was but she wanted to try. "Um, professor, I think the sun means great happiness." She wasn't quite sure, but she thought that was what it was in divination. She opened her mouth to say something but closed it again and looked at the professor.

Freds first thought to answer was to look up one but then he heard the professor say she would rather creativity so he picked out the sun and came up with an idea and answered, "The sun rune could mean a bright future cause you are gonna achieve something or get somewhere.".

| Atypical Ravenclaw Bookworm // Hair Flipper Pro / / the edgy starbuckian // Hot Messie Mina jotted down everything she could as the professor explained the thirteen runes. Hearing Josh jumping kind of caught her off guard and she looked up from her note-taking. She vaugely remembered reading something about a few of the runes, but just remembering it was the key now. Raising her hand, she offered an explanation for one. "The Rings mean love and relationship. In a positive light, it indicate an engagement, marriage, or even a new or renewed relationship or even perhaps a fresh approach to an existing relationship." |

Evelyn felt a bit behind the others in the class because she hadn't studied Ancient Runes at her old school. But she had read a book on Rune Symbols. If only she could remember exactly... "Professor, I remember reading that the man rune represents energy and power. And the romance rune has to do with desire and passion. And love, of course." They were the only two that she could remember.

They knew Headmaster Bontecou had disappeared... they didn't know why. "They were found in... unusual places within the office, we've come to believe the headmaster's disappearance wasn't voluntary, but fowl play..." Sidney is confused. The headmaster last term was named Bontecou? That's right. He's the one Professor Lupa attacked the end of the previous term. And seven of these runes were found in his office. Well, it wasn't his office. The office is now Headmaster Tate's. I wonder why he went looking for them in the first place. Headmaster Tate must have looked for them because they were found in unusual places. Is that why Headmaster Tate warned me about strange things happening? Not the time to think about these things. Quote:

2. The Futhark is NOT used to tell the future. They are a way to guide your life... it is up to you to change the future.
3. To cast the Futhark is to draw individual runes and lay them in different spreads, Witches' runes are cast as dice, and you use all 13. ooc: Remember... this is mostly made up.
"Good question. From what I know, originally there were 8. Some of this is obviously myth... but the stories tell us, many many centuries ago... there were four witches who oversaw the world. They decided they needed a way to foretell the future. So each created two. Narmandel, the witch that covered the northern regions, created The Sun and The Moon; Winstrill, the witch that covered the western regions, created The Wave and The Birds; Everlynn, the witch that covered the eastern regions, created The Rings and The Crossed Spears; Salomina, the witch that covered the southern regions, created The Ear of Corn and The Black Rune." She said looking at the student, hoping they were following.
"In the 11th century, when squibs were obliviated and made to live their lives amidst muggles, Gypsies were born. Muggles who thought they had magical powers. They found the 8 runes and to make them their own, they added 2, The Eye and The Starand CHANGED THREE! Oh Yes, CHANGED!" She smiled. "The Wave became Water, The Ear of Corn became The Ripe Grain and The Black Rune became The Sickle... spooky..." She shuddered.
"Then in the 18th century, a group of 7 wizards who had learned to live with the Gypsies, had discovered that the original 8 were indeed magical... and the additional 2 had been made by squibs, who weren't really squibs at all, but late blooming wizards... those two runes were magical as well!" She clapped her hands in excitement. "So they all agreed to change 5 of the runes. Water should be turned back into Waves, plural now as the symbol had changed through the ages. The Crossed Spears was changed to The Crossroads, The Birds was turned into Flight, the Ripe Grain became The Harvest and finally, to keep with the creepy, The Sickle became The Scythe. At the end of their discussion one of the wizard's wives demanded they add three runes. Woman, Man and Romance... because witches want to know their romantic future." She said knowing she would have wanted it that way.
"So... that leaves is with The Sun, The Moon, The Rings, The Crossroads, Waves, Flight, The Harvest, The Scythe, The Eye, The Star, Woman, Man and Romance." She said smiling. "Pick ONE, tell me it's meaning."
ooc: Some you can find online, but I'd rather see your creativity... MAKE IT UP! Have fun with it! Sidney looks at the runes and listens to Professor Lupa talk about their origins. Fascinating little things. Sidney looks through her book for their meanings. "The eye rune is the same as the evil eye. Protection, some unknown force watching over you. It also enables you to bring things into perspective. You understand things that were a mystery to you before. The eye also means you have power over the your future. You are in charge of your destiny. You should be confident in all your future dealings. Professor, I know this has nothing to do with class, but how could the headmaster disappear? I mean I thought no one can aparate or disaparate from within Hogwarts and her grounds." |

| curly haired prefect - "sometimes I get angry!" - 30/90 - *chicken emoji* - probably @ Disney - I speak dog Jack looked at all the runes and sighed. He only knew what one or two of these symbols meant. He analyzed his notes, just to be sure he had the right definition before raising his hand. "Well the wave rune symbolizes a great journey ahead of you. I like to think of it from a surfer's point of view--you're trying to catch the perfect wave, which would symbolize the perfect opportunity or something like that, and sometimes you fail and crash into the wave or sometimes you succeed and ride the wave until it collapses! Or if you're looking at the wave as like--rapids or a current in a river, it's like you're just letting the flow guide you through life, and it's one big journey with many ups and downs and you never know WHAT is going to happen," he explained.
He liked that one. It made life seem a lot less scarier than it actually was--if you looked at it from the point of view of a surfer, it made the harsh reality of everyday life seem like something you couldn't really control all the time, which was pretty accurate, actually. That was something that he, a super control freak, REALLY needed to get through his head.

A little smile crossed her face as she lowered her hand. "Good" she said writing them down, "Man is power and energy, romance is desire, passion and love and relationship." She said.
"Come on guys, give me more... no has said anything about flight, the star or Woman..." She said hoping they would give her more.

Reese tapped her quill against her notebook as she thought about the runes no one had mentioned yet. After thinking a bit, she raised her hand once more. "Couldn't men represent work? Because, typically, men usually are the workers of the family," she answered.

Marie sat listening to everyone give answers but the only one she really thought she knew was the Flight Rune.
Raising her hand she said "Professor, the Flight Rune means that you are running from or are going to be running from someone or something. You are scared of something so you are running for your life."
Was this one of the runes found in the headmaster's office? Was Headmaster Bontecou running for his life from someone?

Becca smiled at the familiar quote, "You're a Shakespeare fan as well Professor Lupa?" Becca loved the man dearly. "Oh, the Moon is particularly feminine and usually deals with questions about women's issues. Early goddesses such as Isis and Ishtar wore the crsent or 'horns of the moon'. Gypsies called it schion or 'arms of protection'. "

Evelyn could picture the page in her book really clearly now and raised her hand again. "The man stone represents most things masculine, energy and power like we already discussed, and also strength, bravery, chivalry. And it also relates to the colour blue. The woman stone represents feminine things like protection, caring and nurturing. And it relates to the colour yellow. They can work separately or together with the romance stone to show the future for relationships." Evelyn wasn't quite sure if that last part was right or if she was thinking about another type of stone, but she knew she wasn't going to get in trouble if she got it wrong.

Chris raised his hand. "Professor Lupa, couldn't flight represent freedom from either someone, something or an idea? Like how birds typically represent freedom since they can fly and are not tied down to the earth?" he asked excitedly.

Reese had been thinking about what the star and woman runes could mean until she came across a really good idea about what star could mean. She raised her hand for the third time on this question and said, "The star rune could represent guidance, because you usually look to the stars when you need help...or at least it's something like that." She read somewhere that people looked to the stars when they needed directions.

| Atypical Ravenclaw Bookworm // Hair Flipper Pro / / the edgy starbuckian // Hot Messie Mina bit her lip in through. Flight used to be referred to as the birds, right? "Professor, could flight have something to do with maybe an unexpected change?" she asked. "It could be positive or negative, but there is a beginning and an ending, but what happens in between could be unexpected?" She was grasping at straws, she just couldn't remember what exactly the significance of birds had meant before the 18th century. |

Hogwarts RPG Name: Amur Neverwinter Fourth Year | ~ Rise and Rise Again, Until Lambs become Lions ~ 'Not exactly.' The frown deepend as he considered the Professor. 'Not exactly' meant both yes and no. So they knew purpose and intent, but not subject or final causation. Or, at least she hadn't said she knew them. Yet on the other hand she had brought up that they were from the Headmaster's office, that it was part of foul play, and they apparently knew what was going on. So she was being honest, but at the same time keeping them in the dark. It reminded him of muggle media. He couldn't keep himself from vocalizing his confusion. "Fair enough. Why then tell us that they are part of an investigation currently underway, regarding the disappearance of the previous Headmaster?" She had to know that they would ask questions. Not to mention evidence was evidence. "Or are those seven rune stones rare and not regularly used or seen?" He added on in a toe of sincere interest.

Fred decided to take on one of the runes the professor mentioned and answered, "Could the woman rune mean nurturing, like a taking care of something, something that requires gentle handling is in you're future.".
